What is the name of this mandarin orange?

@kingwood - just an update on my previous post. When we got the mandarins from Pittman Davis, they were almost completely rotten with green fungus all over them. I haven’t been able to get them to give me a refund yet. So that’s not good. :frowning:

@fruitnut I wanted to post that we just had some Pixie Mandarins from our tree that’s in a pot and wow. They were so so good. Had some tartness, excellent flavor and a lot of sweetness too. I bought a brix meter that I haven’t opened up yet so I’ll try to measure and post. Hopefully I didn’t eat the sweetest ones already :slight_smile: … we eat a LOT of store bought mandarins and I have to say these are so so good compared to anything from the store. We do have what we think is a Minneola Tangelo (already there when we bought the house) as a comparison to store bought also and that’s also flavorful but not nearly as sweet and tasty as this one. We plan to top work most of that tree to other things.
